3 Taxonomy of Remote Sensing Systems Taxonomy of Remote Sensing Systems Recording Platform Recording Mode Recording Medium Spectral Coverage Spectral Resolution Radiometr. Resolution Spatial Ground Resolution Satellite/Shuttle Aircraft/Balloon Stationary Passive (Electrooptical, Thermal Infrared, Active (Laser, Radar) Thermal Microwave) Analog (Camera, Video) Digital (Whiskbroom, Line Array, 2D CCD) Visible/Ultraviolet Reflected Infrared Thermal Infrared Microwave Panchromatic 1 Band Low (< 6 bit) Very Low > 250 m Low m Multispectral 2 20 Bands Medium (6 8 bit) Medium m Hyperspectral Bands High (8-12 bit) High 4 10 m Very High 1 4 m Ultraspectral > 250 Bands Very High (> 12 bit) Ultra High < 1m

4 Image Fusion: Why is it Necessary? Remote sensors have different spatial resolution for panchromatic and multispectral imagery The ratios vary between 1:2 and 1:8 Some sensors have only 1 pan band (WorldView 1, EROS B) Some sensors have only multispectral bands (RapidEye) For multisensor fusion the ratios can exceed 1:20 (e.g. WorldView/SPOT)
